White Sox’s Romy Gonzalez Undergoes Labrum Surgery

By Anthony Franco | August 11, 2023 at 10:10pm CDT

White Sox’s utility player Romy Gonzalez underwent surgery to repair a labrum tear in his right shoulder last month, the club informed reporters (including Scott Merkin of MLB.com). He’ll miss the rest of the season but is expected to be ready for Spring Training.

It’s not too surprising that Gonzalez won’t return this year. He hasn’t played since June 17, at which point he went on the shelf with what the team had called shoulder inflammation. It was his second IL stint of the season, as he’d also missed a week and a half in early May with shoulder discomfort. The Sox moved him to the 60-day injured list shortly after his second IL placement.

Gonzalez was in the mix for the starting second base job until Chicago re-signed Elvis Andrus early in Spring Training. He ultimately appeared in 44 games and tallied 97 plate appearances in a multi-positional capacity. The 26-year-old had a .194/.208/.376 batting line and now owns a .222/.239/.361 slash in 89 contests over the past three seasons.

Since he’s already on the 60-day IL, Gonzalez isn’t currently counting against the Sox’s 40-man roster. They’d need to reinstate him to the roster or put him on waivers at the start of the offseason. In the interim, he’ll be paid around the $720K minimum rate and collect MLB service. He surpassed the one-year mark this year and wouldn’t be eligible for arbitration until the end of the 2025 campaign if they keep him on the roster.

    Oh no…Hahn said this off season he was a 5 tool player and it would take quite an offer to trade him. Hahn the Con I always so spot on about talent

      If Rick Hahn really did say that, then the upcoming offseason is going to be a circus…

        At $750,000/year, they’ll definitely keep him.

      I’m guessing this is made up. There are enough reasons to dislike Rick Hahn without this stuff. Gonzalez is fast, strong, versatile, and plays good enough d. He just hasn’t shown the hit tool, at all, so no one is looking to trade for him. Hope he does, because he could be a great utility guy.

      With 26 other guys on the roster Hahn thought they had enough Mendick…

    That this guy is even sniffing a MLB teams roster indicates how moribund the WS organizational depth is and has been for years.

    I honestly think he could have been a solid player, but the Sox are incapable of giving someone enough time to adjust at the MLB level. They’d rather play past their prime dudes like Elvis, for reasons nobody understands.

      Calcet – that is so true. It seems to be part of their DNA, unfortunately.

        The fact that they are still playing Elvis says all you need to know.

          There was a report that ranked every position and every team and how deep they were at that position and the talent level at the beginning of the year. The White Sox 2B was rated the absolute worst in baseball. They quite literally don’t have anyone else.

      Actually it seemed like Gonzalez was finally getting in a groove before he got hurt.

    He’s gone…will end up in SF and hit .260.

      Which is still better than what the Sox are doing at 2nd with Andrus

      Is 260 supposed to be bad? Cause he would be lapping the Sox hitters this year.
